Merry Christmas from Pittsburgh Creekside

From Pittsburgh Creekside to you, Merry Christmas! And nothing says Happy Holidays like a Christmas Yeti! We found the wood carved yeti at Cabelas/Bass Pro Shop in Wheeling, West Virginia at Santa land on our way to Oglebay Resort for their Winter Light Festival.

Thanks for checking in on our Pittsburgh fishing and outdoors blog this year. We really do appreciate you visiting us to see how our fishing trips are going around the Pittsburgh region. Please continue to check back often to see our new posts. Merry Fishing and a Happy New Year!

-A River Runs Through It

Poets talk about "spots of time," but it is really fishermen who experience eternity compressed into a moment. No one can tell what a spot of time is until suddenly the whole world is a fish and the fish is gone. I shall remember that S.O.B. forever.

One reason Paul caught more fish than anyone else was that he had his flies in the water more than anyone else. "Brother," he would say, "there are no flying fish in Montana. Out here, you can't catch fish with your flies in the air."

Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go.
